I don't think it means that they're letting him walk when his contract is up, I think it means they hope he plays well and they'll take the best offer available on JG after next season. Brissett (or someone) would have to be active for weeks 1-4 if TBs suspension stands, but this way they have a guy in the program for a full year ready to be the backup in 2017.It's dumb. You want someone to realistically compete with Garapollo? Bring in a veteran. All this means to me is we are letting Garapollo walk when his contract is up.
I think you can debate which guy they picked for said role, and where they picked him, but that role does exist and filling it with a player they must like makes sense. It's certainly not about competition for Garroppolo this year - if Brady sits, he's playing, period.
